![]() ![]() I just see people trying to get their laundry done and leave. I don't recall it being a social experience, but that may be because I am not a social person. I think the hardest part was lugging the clothes about 5 blocks to the laundry mat, then sitting around waiting. My experience with laundry mats was before cell phones and when I lived in the city. Not sure I have ever been in a seasonally decorated Laundromat in my entire life. Seriously, what kind of Laundromat is quiet enough to eavesdrop on a casual conversation? I had to move closer to hear someone who was talking directly to me today and that wasn't even a public one. No chatting heard over the machines, although sometimes you can hear someone screaming into their phone. Was just starting to put quarters in when I came back to switch clothes half an hour later. One guy was loading the big machines as I walked in. The homeless or nearly so are often gamifying how long they can drag out the process without getting scolded for loitering. Some walk home, some wait in their cars, some get their grocery shopping done while the clothes are drying or go get some coffee because this is their day out. With more machines squeezing out the chairs, the only people hanging out are the ones who don't have many options. Not playing for sure because there isn't open space in laundromats anymore. ![]() The only kids I have seen in a very long time are either in strollers or folding the clothes. Ten different perfumes mixing, plus those who didn't/weren't able to shower before coming. Reservations can be made at !reserve/cfwu.Mostly, laundromats are innocuous, at best.
